New York AG proposes series of police reforms she says should be 'quickly' enacted following violent encounters between police and protesters during recent demonstrations after the death of George Floyd.
James' proposed reforms could curb much of the NYPD's commissioner's significant power over firing or promotions.
"Basically my point is police should not police themselves, period. And It requires change and it requires reform and it requires transparency and accountability. At this point in time why is it this one agency is treated so differently than all of the others?” “Rather than rehash rhetoric we should come together — state and local law enforcement and elected officials—and confront and solve the crisis at hand," Esposito said.James' investigation found that between May 28 and June 7, the NYPD made more than 2,000 protest-related arrests.
